That’s more-or-less how I feel about Python, it’s a solid language, first one I learned and only one used outside some C++ for school, for several years. But, after branching off into other languages, I’m just really not that interested in Python. Maybe it’s because I’m not particularly interested in ML or data science, which outside of it almost being the ubiquitous intro language, is really the big draw to it these days. I just don’t find Python sexy, which isn’t a bad thing, it’s just not as fun to use, which can also be a good thing as it can prevent some shitty hacks just because I wanted to code golf/try some obscure language features.

Though, I’m a bit of a language junky, I love playing with new languages that largely break away from the classic C Style. My daily languages I use, and actually deeply enjoy working with are Ruby, JS/TS (mostly TS now-a-days), and Elixir. Likely Haskell is the next language I’ll try to seriously learn, as it’s one I just want to check off my list. But, I’ve also dabbled around with rust, tried to drink the lisp koolaid, but couldn’t get past the (((())))))) - I hope one day to try again to see what the hype is about, and I occasionally check up on Idris, but I’m going to let that one mature a bit more/at least get Haskell under my belt before I give it a serious effort.

With all that said, Python is solid, but with all the other options out there, it just seems terribly boring. Maybe that’s largely due to my lack of meaningful work with it in the past few years, but I’m not at all interested in using it anymore. Also, the whole white space thing is a huge turn off, Which is one of the things I actually used to really like about it.
